Outdoor festival procession at a Kumbh Mela event. In the foreground, two sadhus stand on a white decorated horse-drawn vehicle with ornate gold-and-red harness, holding orange cloth strips hung with marigold garlands. The man on the left has long dark hair and a bare chest, while the man on the right has a white-ash-covered body, long white beard and a red tilak, and a marigold garland. Crowds stand behind a yellow barrier, and a green flag with a heart-and-family logo flies at left. A large banner at right shows an older bearded man in an orange turban and saffron garments beside Hindi text and dates. Strings of lights and tents fill the background.
